Development of boost::container::hub as a lightweight alternative to std::hive, a conference talk on C++ mathematics, maintenance merges for Boost.Unordered and Boost.Bimap, a fix proposal for Boost.ICL, and community support activities.
CUDA support is added to Boost int128 for host and device use. Device from_chars/to_chars are provided by Boost.Charconv, and Boost.Decimal will gain CUDA later. Verification is used by Boost.Safe_Numbers for safety and error check with CUDA reporting.
Memory tiering matters as DRAM costs rise. C++ lacks native residency terminology. OS and compiler solutions stay opaque. C++26 reflection and annotations empower devs. An open‑source library shows tier‑aware allocation. Future‑ready. Tiered memory works.
The Pure Virtual C++ 2026 conference was concluded with acknowledgments to hosts, speakers, and moderators. Recordings of all live and on‑demand talks were released for immediate viewing via a YouTube playlist. The featured sessions were presented in a specific order, covering topics such as C++ semantic awareness in the CLI, interoperability between C++ and Rust, AI‑driven development tools for Visual Studio, strategies for reducing build times, and the use of C++/WinRT with C++20 modules. Each session was linked to its corresponding video. The content was made freely accessible to the community. Viewers were encouraged to watch the full playlist for a comprehensive overview. The event highlighted recent advances and practical techniques for modern C++ development.
